Hardcover. Zustand: Good. No Jacket. Appletons Cyclopedia of Applied Mechanics. Volume I Edited by Park Benjamin, Ph.D., LL.B. New York: D. Appleton and Company, 1878 Condition: Good Appletons Cyclopaedia of Applied Mechanics VOL I (edited by Park Benjamin, Ph.D., LL.B.) is a 19th-century engineering reference work—a comprehensive technical encyclopedia of mechanical engineering and the mechanical arts. Being first published in parts beginning around 1878-1879 and then collected into volumes, it was designed as a practical and illustrated dictionary for engineers, mechanics, inventors, and students of the era. Original 19th-century edition bound in calfskin boards with black and brown leather, featuring title boxes on the spine. The covers show some general wear consistent with age, including light discoloration to the leather and minor edge bumping. The spine has some cracking, but remains firm and intact with no loose pages. The interior is clean and well-preserved, with pages free of writing, marks, tears, or highlighting. Text and illustrations are clear and complete. Overall, a very solid and attractive copy, especially considering the book's age—really good condition for an 1878 volume. An excellent example of this classic 19th-century engineering reference, suitable for collectors, historians, or display. (BR) Shelf 127.…
